Turkey Responsible for Dink's Murder
The Federation of Armenian Organizations in the Netherlands (FAON) is shocked to hear of the assassination of Armenian journalist Hrant Dink living in Turkey. Just last month Dink visited the Netherlands to receive the Oxfam pen Award. Dink was a brave man, who was future oriented. In many ways Turkey carries responsibility for the death of Dink. By educating generations with the superiority of the Turks and with the denial of the Armenian Genocide for decades the Turks in fact have been stirring up Turks against Armenians. Also Turkey didn't give protection to Hrant Dink, he was in fact outlawed," says the FAON statement.
